Hi! I’m Roxy. I started babysitting almost 15 years ago and have since worked as a nanny/babysitter and in education, from classrooms and private tutoring to developing an SEL curriculum for elementary school-aged girls. In this time, I’ve worked with children of all ages and have really enjoyed getting to know the different milestones, interests, and needs that come with each age. I really enjoy getting to know each child and finding ways to keep them engaged while supporting their development. Depending on age, some of my favorite ways to spend time with kids are getting outside, reading together, doing art projects, baking, and finding activities that match their interests. With babies and young toddlers, I especially enjoy paying attention to what they’re learning at each stage and finding fun, age-appropriate ways to support their development, encourage their growing independence and communication skills, and keep them interested and learning as they grow. I believe in helping children develop curiosity, compassion, independence, and social awareness from a young age by giving them space to express themselves and explore the world around them, while also helping them learn to understand and regulate big feelings and navigate relationships with others. I have a bachelor’s degree and speak some Spanish and a little Arabic. I’m also infant and pediatric CPR/first aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve previously worked for. I’m ideally looking for full-time or near-full-time work with a baby or toddler who isn’t in school yet, but I’m also open to part-time care, nanny shares, and one-time babysitting when my schedule allows. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hello! My name is Maura, I am 28 years old and have used this app for almost 10 years! I went to Pratt and got a painting degree so if your kid likes arts and crafts we will get along just fine! I'm gentle, smiley, fun and responsible. I've watched up to 4 kids at a time, and also have taught art classes to groups of up to 25 kids. I was also a Resident Advisor at Pratt, so let's just say I've seen it all! I now would like to spend as much free time as I have meeting and helping out lovely families while pursuing my artistic career 🎨 Feel free to message me with any questions 🙃

“Maura is a treat! She took wonderful care of my (extremely) needy cat, sending photos and checking in with me often. He loved her :) Will absolutely ask her to cat sit again.”

Hi! I’m Schnell, a professional full-time nanny with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, including twins. I specialize in creating a structured, nurturing, and engaging environment while providing attentive, hands-on care. I love keeping children active and engaged throughout the day. I plan age-appropriate activities and outings such as trips to the park, playgrounds, museums, indoor play spaces, classes, and other child-friendly activities. At home, I enjoy reading books, doing arts and crafts, sensory play, music, and activities that encourage learning and development. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding and nap schedules, preparing meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training, school drop-offs and pick-ups, getting children ready for activities, and helping them develop independence as they grow. I also handle children’s laundry, organize their toys and belongings, clean up after meals and activities, and help keep their spaces organized. I’m highly reliable, patient, organized, and comfortable caring for multiple children while balancing different schedules and needs. My goal is for children to feel safe, happy, engaged, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m currently seeking families who value attentive, high-quality care and a dependable caregiver. I’m also available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - FALL/WINTER 2026** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for gigs in the Fall and beyond. I'm available for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~5 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
